Buy Living on Plain Pasta PC key

Living on Plain Pasta is a short narrative adventure about spending eight days of summer with your hard-drinking college senpai, whose apartment is messy and whose fridge is poorly stocked. You visit her day after day, cook meals, go out into the city after midnight and make choices that subtly affect your relationship and the emotional tone of the ending. An average playthrough takes about one hour; seeing every event and ending takes around three hours.

Cook together

Your senpai may ask for a specific dish, such as carbonara, but you have to make do with whatever ingredients are in the fridge. Choose two ingredients from a selection of three or four to create a meal, whether you try to make something suitable or combine ingredients into something ridiculous. There are no right answers, and the meals prompt different conversations and reactions.

Midnight outings

After dinner, you choose a destination and spend time with your senpai. The places you can visit include a discount store, convenience store, arcade, laundromat and beach. These late-night outings lead to story events and conversations about anxiety, the future and life choices.

Summer days

The game uses pixel-art visuals to portray summer nights. Its story follows a slightly strange and reckless summer with someone whose life is slowly falling apart, and has multiple endings.
